Liquid Skates on the Sidewalk (Music Monday)

Gene Kelly Piano

Music Monday is acually hard for me, because I find myself looking for the best songs ever made. There are so many "good songs" ... so few extrordinary.
This week I decided to take a trip back in time to some movie magic with Gene Kelly.

Not participating so please don't delete me Speedy. Bwahahahahaha. I ♥ Gene Kelly. He can skate too.

Have a great day. Big hug. :)

Sandee ... I was impressed with the skating too!

I needed a "HAPPY" kind of song today. This one fit the duck bill.

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Coltfan ... it was a rock concert over at your blog!

There was a time when I listened to rock exclusively, even in the mornings. I actually listen to talk radio now. (embarresing but true)

Olga, j'ai aimé le français sous titres... bien que vous et je suis la seule une pour les comprendre. J'aime cette vidéo courte, et aimerait monter haut patiner encore - aussitôt que j'obtiens de cette chaise. (riant)

Hi Rozella!

Even as old as this is, the talent of Mr. Kelly is timeless.

Michelle Gartner said...

HEY ERIC THANKS FOR THE PICTURE OF ME!!!

Now the bad news- I am going to have hurt you for posting all this fine delicious vintage goodness!!!!!

BTW- After analyzing Meleah's comment I have determined she is not old, I am vintage and you are either antique or how should I say this nicely a RELIC.

When you want to list you on eBay just fly me an email and I get 30% since we are in a recession.

GUESS WHAT ELSE MY SON WON HIS 1st VARSITY WRESTLING TOURNEY THIS WEEKEND...

Ok I am off to brag somewhere else- save me some chikn.

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Michelle ... you can't hurt me, I am far to rubbery. AND, if I have a choice, I go with relic !!

Reminds me of relish

ummm, how can I email myself??? You have a secret vintage device or something?? That's whack!!!

AND, last but not least, CONGRATS to your boy!!!!!

WOOOoooOOOoooOOOOT WOOOT!!!!!!!!

HIOOOOOOOHHHHHH

It's so unfair. Some guys can dance, sing, and roller skate. I can dance and skate! :) Brilliant choice!

Joyoz said...

Oh my, I never thought someone will appreciate what I'm doing. I even think that it's illegal to let MM participants hear me lol. Thank you very much for the special mention. I don't know what to say more...I'm speechless now!

Daisy said...

Fantastic choice, Speedy! :D I love it!

Of course, you probably already know that any post where Gene Kelly is dancing is super-duper in my book.

I don't know how he does that on roller skates though!

I'd be sitting on my keister in two seconds flat if I tried dancing while on roller skates! ha ha! :D

Chris said...

Great choice. Gene Kelly was a true star.

Miss Moneypenny said...

While Gene is singing on rollerskates, Speedy Musicalcat is currently Napping in his Napkins Musical! :)

Debo Hobo said...

Is there nothing they couldn't do back then. They really owned their craft and it shows in their showmanship.


Bravo! for sharing it:)

teeni said...

Awesome skating! Gene Kelly was so talented. If I remember right, skates back then were the awful metal wheeled ones so to even be able to skate in them was a miracle! LOL. Thanks for sharing, Speedy!
